THE NoRrus PETER JOHN SHERRY, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

LUBRICATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 3, 1907.

Application filed October 14, 1902- Serial No. 127,220.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN SHERRY, of Rochester, in the county of Monroeand State of New York, have invented a certain new and usefulLubricator, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to lubricators and has for its object theproduction of an actuating means for the pumps of force-feed lubricatorswhich is simple in construction, is readily and safely manipulated evenduring the operation of the lubricators, and is strong and durable inuse; and to this end the invention consists in the novel combinationsand constructions hereinafter described and claimed.

In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanyingdrawing in which like characters refer to corresponding parts in all theviews. I

Figures 1 and 2 are opposite face views of a preferable embodiment of myinvention. Fig. 3 is a side eleva tion of the lubricator illustrated inthe preceding views. Figs. 4 and 5 are sectional views taken on lineA-A, Fig. 2, the locking member being shown in different positions.

The illustrated preferable embodiment of my lubricator comprises areservoir 1, a pump 2, a shaft 3, an actuating lever 4, and a lockingmember 5. The reservoir 1 contains the lubricant, and the pump 2communicates with the reservoir and discharges the lubricant through aconduit 6. Said reservoir and pump may be of any desirable form, sizeand construction and further description thereof herein is deemedunnecessary.

As clearly shown in the drawing, the shaft 3 is passed through thereservoir 1 and one end thereof is suitably connected to the pump 2,being here illustrated as provided with an eccentrically-arranged pin 7which moves in a slot formed in one arm of a lever 8 pivoted to thereservoir 1 at 9 and provided with a slotted arm 10 connected byalink 11to one end of the pump-piston 12. The other end of the shaft 3 ispreferably provided with a power-transmitting part '13 here shown as adisk fixed to the shaft 3 and having its outer face provided with ahandle 14 and its periphery formed with sockets or notches 15.

The actuating lever 4 is loosely mounted on the shaft 3 at the innerside of the power-transmitting part 13 is movable in reverse directionsand is generally formed with a cylindrical lower end which receives aneye 16 adjustable lengthwise thereof and connected to a moving part ofthe engine or other device to be lubricated.

As best seen in Figs. 4 and 5, the locking member 5 is pivoted at oneend to the actuating lever 4 and is provided with a cam-shapedportion 17having angularlyarranged faces 18, and its other or free end isdetachably connected to the shaft 3, being movable into and out of thesockets or notches 15 of the power-transmitting part 13. A suitablespring 19 engages the faces 18 alternately and holds the locking member5 in its operative and inoperative positions. When the locking member 5is in its operative position, Fig. 4, it cooperates with opposite wallsof the socket receiving the free end thereof and transmits motion inreverse directions to the shaft 3 from the actuating lever 4, and itsfree end projects beyond the outer face of the power-transmitting part13; and when the locking member is in its inoperative position, Fig. 5,the actuating lever 4 moves independently of the shaft 3 and the freeend of said locking member projects beyond or above the contiguousportion of the actuating lever t and the periphery of thepower-transmitting part 13. Owing to the projection of the free end ofthe locking member 5 beyond the contiguous portions of the actuatinglever and the power-transmitting part, said locking member can bereadily manipulated or shifted from one position to the other during theuse of the lubricator and without liability of injury to the operator.

The construction and operation of my lubricator will now be readilyunderstood upon reference to the foregoing description and theaccompanying drawing and it will be obvious that more or less change maybe made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates is:

l. in a lubricator, the combination of oscillating driven and drivingparts, with a locking member for moving the driven part with the drivingpart, the locking member being pivoted to one of said parts anddetachably connccted to the other, a reservoir for the lubricant, and apump for discharging the lubricant, said pump being connected to thedriven part, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. In a lubricator, the combination of a shaft and an oscillatingactuating lever, with a locking member for moving the shaft with theactuating lever, the locking member being pivoted to one of said partsand detachably connected to the other, a reservoir for the lubricant,and a pump for discharging the lubricant, said pump being connected tothe shaft, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. In a lubricator, the combination of a shaft, and an oscillatingactuating lever, with a locking member for moving the shaft with theactuating lever, the locking member being pivoted to one of said partsand detachably connected to the other, a spring for holding the lockingmember in its operative and inoperative positions, a reservoir for thelubricant, and a pump for discharging the lubricant, said pump beingconnected to the shaft, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

1t. In a lubricator, the combination of a shaft, a powertransmittingpart movable with the shaft and formed with a socket, an actuating levermovable in reverse directions, a locking member pivoted to the actuatinglever and movable into and out of the socket and cooperating withopposite walls of the socket for moving the powertransmitting part withthe lever, a reservoir for the lubricant, and a pump for discharging thelubricant, said pump being connected to the shaft, substantially as andfor the purpose described.

5. In a lubricator, the combination of a shaft, a powertransmitting partmovable with the shaft and formed with a socket, an actuating levermovable in reverse directions, a locking member having one end pivotedto the actuating lever and provided with a cam-shaped portion and itsother end movable into and out of the socket and cooperating withopposite walls of the socket for moving the power-transmitting part withthe actuating lever, and a spring for engaging said cam-shaped portionand holding the locking member in its operative and inoperativepositions, a reservoir for the lubricant, and a pump for discharging thelubricant, said ,pump being connected to the shaft, substantially as andfor the purpose specified.

6. In a lubricator, the combination of a shaft, a powertransmitting partmovable with the shaft, an actuating lever movable in reversedirections, a locking member pivoted to the actuating lever and movableinto and out of engagement with the power-transmitting part andcooperating therewith for moving said part in reverse directions withthe actuating lever, said locking member projecting beyond thecontiguous portion of the powertransmitting part when in its operativeposition and projecting beyond the contiguous portion of the actuatinglever when in its inoperative position for facilitating manipulation ofthe locking member, a reservoir for the lubricant, and a pump fordischarging the lubricant, said pump being connected to the shaft,substantially as and for the purpose described.
